Do we need to be scared by this? Though its a bit 'dichotomy' (in the marxist terminology) that West Bengal Government is supporting this type of 'colonialistic' initiative. What we lack is advocacy at the highest level. Leave alone initiatives like 'banglapenguin' or 'banglalinux', the whole open source movement is India is still limited to few people. The otherday Atanu cited a good example. Myself and Atanu was able to introduce Linux in Deepalaya - and the experiemnt is very successful. But it is not spreading to other organisations. We are in great need of a 'body' which would take up the responsibbility of convincing people at the highest level. Anybody for a PIL (public interest litigation) against West Bengal Government? Tell....me..I am all for it.
